The project began in January 2009, when Bowlby started to design a new IndyCar Series vehicle meant to be field starting in the 2012 season. With financial backing from Chip Ganassi, owner of major squad Chip Ganassi Racing, the prototype was unveiled in February 2010 at the Chicago Auto Show. In July 2010, IndyCar chose a Dallara design instead.



DeltaWing Racing Car Announced

In June 2011 it was announced that the car will get the 56th spot at the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans, reserved for experimental vehicles.

The DeltaWing was designed to reduce aerodynamic drag dramatically, to allow a marginally faster straight and corner speed than a 2009-2011 Dallara IndyCar on both ovals and road/street courses with half as much weight, engine power and fuel consumption. As the name suggests, it has a delta wing shape, with an unusually narrow 0.6m front track and a more traditional 1.7m rear track. The car lacks any front or rear wings - downforce comes from the underbody. The model to run at La Sarthe will have a four-cylinder turbocharged 300 bhp engine, a 40 L fuel tank, a weight of 475 kg and a drag coefficient of 0.24.
